FPS-ZM1

RAGE antagonist

Product Specifications

Background

A high-affinity RAGE (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products) receptor antagonist (Ki = 25 nM). It lowers levels of Aβ via binding to the V domain of RAGE and can block multiple mechanisms of Aβ40- and Aβ42-induced cellular stress in RAGE-expressing brain endothelium, neurons and microglia in vitro and in vivo (1,2). In a rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage, FPS-ZM1 attenuates blood-brain barrier and white matter fiber damage (3). It ameliorates inflammatory damage after acute intracerebral hemorrhage via downstream blockade of high mobility box-1(HMGB1) signaling (4). Attenuates AGE-induced neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in rat microglia (5). BBB permeable.
